This is one the cultivated types in India identified by Kurz. It is a dwarf AAA group banana that would today be identified as a clone or
selection of 'Dwarf Cavendish' of which there are many in India. The WCM gives the accepted name as Musa nana. Musa nana is the earliest valid binomial
given to dwarf AAA group bananas but in my opinion it is not taxonomically useful to give it as the accepted name. There are many AAA type bananas that show a continuous
and taxonomically irrelevant variation in height. I do not see the point in arbitrarily designating the smallest of these as Musa nana.
